And how did I celebrate? By working all day while my husband took his mom and sister out.

But no worries...I took my mother out on Friday.

Anyway, I'm waiting for him to get back from his jaunt right now. My sister-in-law was going to give me a planter that I can grow hanging cherry tomatoes from. So when he comes back with that I will probably work on that tomorrow on my day off.

In the meantime, I planted my two beefsteak tomato plants. I looked ahead at the weather, and it looks like the frost season is gone now. I was getting concerned that the two plants were going to wither if I didn't plant them soon. One started to wilt because I hadn't watered it in a couple of days. I put water in the pot, and it bounced right back about an hour later. I'm still going to wait until Memorial Day before planting impatiens or a few other shady plants on the side, though, just to be on the safe side. I'm still remembering last year's initial impatiens disaster.

I may just stick with a container garden on the side this year, and possibly have raised gardens next year. It's only really because of time in this case, because I can't do a heck of a lot in my current condition, and I'm the gardener out of my husband and I. I may leave the front garden I was going to create directly in front of the house to next year, also, just because hubby has other things he has to do around the house before he can get to it. I'll have to ask him about a game plan.
